Yuan Ying sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but that I don't want to harm you. Do you know how difficult it is to get into the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations? The tests inside are extremely rigorous."
I shook my head.
As for the Bureau of Extraordinary Events Investigation, I only know its name and that it is a mysterious organization responsible for catching ghosts and exorcising demons; I know nothing else about it.
Luo Tianhe had previously said he would help me investigate, but later he himself fell into trouble and disappeared without a trace, so this lead was lost.
Yuan Ying continued, "The Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations is not a place you can just join. The assessment alone can easily take your life."
"Many people who have studied Taoism for many years and possess extraordinary skills went to participate in the test with great confidence, but they died in less than two days."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Yingniang, I'm not afraid to die!"
Yuan Ying's face darkened: "It's not just about not being afraid of death. The key is that they don't accept you at all. If you really have that ability, you don't need to go to them; they will come to you on their own."
Upon hearing this, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, and all my hopes vanished instantly.
Seeing this, Yuan Ying softened her tone and comforted her.
“I know you are eager for revenge, but one must take things one step at a time. There is no shortcut to success in this world. If you really want to learn, although I cannot be your master, I will do my best to help you within my limited time.”
I raised my head, knelt down in front of Yuan Ying again, and kowtowed three times.
"Master, please accept my bow!"
Yuan Ying stomped her feet in anger: "What are you doing? I've already said I don't take on apprentices. How can I, a dying man, ruin your future?"
I took her hand, my eyes full of sincerity: "Yingniang, a teacher for a day is a father for life. Even if you only teach me for a day, you are still my teacher. I don't care how much you can teach me, I just hope to have the opportunity to learn some skills from you."
Yuan Ying sighed helplessly.
“I still have to stay at the hospital to look after Liu Sandao. Although his soul has returned to his body, it is still unstable and may dissipate again at any time. I have to stay with him to make sure he is safe and sound. You can go back to my paper fire shop first.”
Before leaving, Yuan Ying solemnly gave me some instructions.
"Go to the shop, take 180 sheets of paper money, nine pairs of paper figures and horses, and also a paper luxury yacht and an exquisite villa. Burn these for those four underworld officials as hush money."
"When burning the offerings, sincerely recite: 'Four Lords of the Underworld, we have been ignorant and offended you. We have prepared this small gift and hope you will forgive us and let bygones be bygones.' Under no circumstances should we mention our identities or the specific reasons for today's events. Do you understand?"
I nodded seriously, taking her words to heart.
